This 2019 report summarises key findings of the Child Measurement Programme for Wales (CMP) for the school year 2017/18.

Information about the history of the programme and how information is collected and analysed is also available on the website.

The report and data relates to measurements taken of children attending reception class in a school in Wales, who also have a residential postcode in Wales. The children whose measurements are included must have their fifth birthday sometime during the school year. Parents/carers of the children are all given the opportunity to opt their children out of the measurement programme. Information on the numbers who choose to opt out are given in the data quality statement which appears on the website alongside the report.
